Divina is currently 20 years old and attends the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. They have spent approximately seven years in the child welfare system, which informs a lot of their work in many ways- particularly that of community strengthening and reimagining systems of care. Divina’s advocacy work mainly surrounds the improvement of the foster care system and education, as they have interned at the Massachusetts State House under the Criminal Justice Reform Caucus drafting legislation to ensure the education of incarcerated people as well as working community-based organizations on educator rights. Divina’s biggest hope is to strengthen communities and work towards a better world, for all.
